"The
entire
counseling experience
was extremely helpful. Simply to have someone to talk to about
my carers role was of huge importance." |
"For over nine years our regional cancer hospital has referred numerous patients for specialist counselling, support and psychotherapy. We have had nothing but positive feedback from our patients regarding the care and expertise provided. I have always had complete confidence in using their invaluable service." |
|
"A
fantastic service that has really supported me as I supported my mum
through her illness. It
helped my
emotional needs that had been put to the back of my mind during a
very stressful and frightening time." |
"I feel very lucky to have had this experience. I think I was quite damaged and that my bereavement somehow shocked me into recognising the need to heal. If this is common, then free counselling after a trauma is a good thing." |
| "Thank you so much for all your time and help. My every day life is now a better one." | "The Harbour offers a safe relaxed environment for clients to explore their fears and concerns about loss, fear of dying and coping with the death of someone close to them." |
| "I no longer feel suicidal, I am better able to cope. My counsellor was very good at ‘reading’ me – knowing how to pitch things to me so I would understand and be receptive towards. This service has, I believe, saved me from a selfish and untimely death. I cannot thank all involved enough for this experience." |
"I
began to look forward to seeing my counsellor each week, as being
a carer to a HIV+ man, it was very important to have an impartial
person to discuss and evaluate my past weeks emotional and mental
stress. |
| "I feel privileged to have received this service for free for two years - its marvellous." | "The Harbour has a well earned reputation around Bristol as providing consistently excellent care and support to a very vulnerable group within the community." |
| "The Harbour has become an invaluable resource to people around Bristol facing the prospect of chronic illness and death, one which we have grown to rely upon." |
"It
gave us the opportunity to discuss feelings and fears in a
structured situation.
It also developed skills to use in our future relationship |
